Eliminall is a powerful and effective flea treatment suitable for use on cats and dogs. Each application provides lasting protection for up to 8 weeks in dogs and 4 weeks in cats. Using a specially designed pipette, administration is simple, clean and easy. Eliminall treatment should ideally be used as a preventative measure before fleas are spotted in order to prevent their colonisation of bedding, carpets and soft furnishings. Eliminall can be used year round for total flea protection.

In addition to this flea treatment you may require an additional household spray to combat fleas which may not have yet hatched or dormant fleas in and around the house. Please click here to see the range of household sprays available.

Please take care not to let the product come into contact with varnished or other household surfaces. The alcohol carrier in the product may have adverse effects on these surfaces. Allow the products to fully dry before allowing the animal contact with these surfaces and do not put used pipettes on them.

Eliminall Spot-On Solution for Cats

Presentation

Uses

For the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) and tick (Ixodes ricinus) infestations in cats. Fleas will be killed within 24 hours.

Eliminall has a persistent insecticidal efficacy for up to 4 weeks against fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.) and acaricidal efficacy for up to 4 weeks against Ixodes ricinus and for up to 1 week against Dermacentor reticulatus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Ticks will usually be killed within 48 hours. However, if ticks of some species (Dermacentor reticulatus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) are present when Eliminall is applied, all the ticks may not be killed within the first 48 hours but they may be killed within a week.

Eliminall can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), where this has been previously diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon.

Dosage and administration

For external use only.

Administer by topical application to the skin 1 pipette of 0.5 ml per animal.

Method of administration

Remove the pipette from the triplex bag. Hold the pipette in an upright position, twist and pull the cap off. Turn the cap around and place the other end of the cap back on the pipette. Push and twist the cap to break the seal, then remove the cap from the pipette. Spread the hairs of the animal between the shoulder blades to make the skin visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze gently to empty its contents onto the skin, preferably at two spots, one at the base of the skull and a second 2-3 cms further back.

It is important to make sure that Eliminall is applied to an area where the animal cannot lick it off, and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.

The hair should be parted and Eliminall applied to the skin. Temporary changes to the coat (clumped/greasy hair and/or deposits on the hair) may be noted at the application site which normally disappears within 24 hours.

Treatment schedule

For optimal control of flea and/or tick infestation the treatment schedule can be based on the local epidemiological situation.

In the absence of safety studies, the minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.

Contra-indications, warnings, etc

In the absence of available data, Eliminall should not be used on kittens less than 2 months old and/or weighing less than 1 kg.

Do not use on sick (e.g. systemic diseases, fever…) or convalescent animals.

Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions and even death could occur.

Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance, dimethyl sulfoxide or to any of the excipients.

Avoid contact with the animal's eyes. In the case of accidental eye contact, immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water.

Do not apply Eliminall on wounds or damaged skin.

Animals should be weighed accurately prior to treatment.

If licking occurs, a brief period of hypersalivation may be observed.

Among the extremely rare suspected adverse reactions, transient cutaneous reactions on the application site (squamosis, local alopecia, pruritus, erythema) and general pruritus or alopecia have been reported after use. Exceptionally, hypersalivation, reversible neurologic symptoms (hyperesthesia, depression, nervous symptoms) or vomiting have been observed after use.

No adverse effects were observed in studies in cats and kittens aged 2 months and older and weighing about 1 kg treated once a month at five times the recommended dose for three consecutive months. The risk of experiencing adverse effects may however increase with overdosing.

Laboratory studies using fipronil have not shown any evidence of teratogenic or embryotoxic effects. Studies have not been carried out with this product in pregnant and lactating queens. Use in pregnancy and lactation only in accordance with professional veterinary advice and a benefit/risk assessment.

User warnings

This product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation. Therefore, contact between Eliminall and the mouth or eyes should be avoided.

In the case of accidental eye contact immediately and thoroughly flush the eyes with water. If eye irritation persists seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.

Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash off immediately with soap and water.

Wash hands after use.

Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.

People with a known hypersensitivity to fipronil or dimethyl sulfoxide or other excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.

Treated animals should not be handled until the application site is dry, and children should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the application site is dry. It is therefore recommended that animals are not treated during the day, but should be treated during the early evening, and that recently treated animals should not be allowed to sleep with owners, especially children.

Pharmaceutical precautions

Packaging Quantities

Supplied in cartons containing 1, 3, 6, 10, 20 or 30 pipettes. Not all pack sizes may be marketed.

Further information

Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated with a suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.

For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.

When used as part of a strategy for the treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis, monthly applications to the allergic patient and to other cats in the household are recommended.

Eliminall does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. If the animal has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the tick will be killed in the first 24-48 hours after attachment. This will usually be prior to engorgement, minimising but not excluding the risk of transmission of diseases. Once dead, ticks will often drop off the animal, but any remaining ticks may be removed with a gentle pull.

No data on the effect of bathing/shampooing on the efficacy of Eliminall in cats are available. However, based on information available for dogs, weekly immersion in water for one minute reduces the period of persistent insecticidal efficacy against fleas by one week.

Uses

For the treatment of flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) and tick (Dermacentor reticulatus) infestations. Fleas will be killed within 24 hours.

For the treatment of Trichodectes canis biting lice infestations on dogs. Most lice are killed within 2 days. Insecticidal efficacy against new infestations with adult fleas persists for up to 8 weeks.

Eliminall has a persistent acaricidal efficacy for up to 3 weeks against Ixodes ricinus and up to 4 weeks against Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Dermacentor reticulatus. Ticks will usually be killed within 48 hours. However, if ticks of some species (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) are present when Eliminall is applied, all the ticks may not be killed within the first 48 hours.

Eliminall can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) where this has been previously diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon.
